g00gl3its 5.2 gallon tank

Continued from here: 919 vs. CB 600 F4

There's a friendly wager on, full tank of gas or G00GL3its avatar. How about from now 'til the New Year? It'd be neat if the other members who want to join can join in at the Sports Book part of the Casino. Not sure how that all works..

5.2 gallons in a tank that is 5.02 gallons + fuel pump + old leftover fuel. Not gonna happen. I've had it stall out a few times and most I remember getting in there was 4.8ish.

if you squeeze it in ever so slowly, the other .4gal will drain out of the overflow...

I've had mine stall out multiple times even with leaning the bike over to the left to get every drop. Only got it up to 4.77G on the fill.

I'm pretty sure I didn't have anything running out of the vent line. I think I would have noticed a quarter of a gallon of gas on my shoes.

I'm really interested to see if I can do it again...

maybe the gas station you were at was mislabeling actual gallons as larger than the actual gallon of gas... to get more money... i wouldnt doubt that one fuggin bit.

If it does turn out to be faulty metering (intentional or not), time to call an inspection with the weights and measures dept of agriculture.

+1! Try to go to the same gas station where you filled with 5.2 gal.

You might have to get one of those reserve cans with the measurement window to see if they're really short-changing on gas.

Just call weights & measures and file a complaint, they will inspect the station quickly.

Why would I do that? I'd lose my bet!

With my luck, there was something wrong at that time and they've since fixed it, lol.

Not only are the red ones faster, but they have larger tanks to make up for the difference in speed!

Look in the 919 vs. CV 600 F4 thread. That's where this wager started.

There was another thread where I posted a pic. Not sure where, Tapatalk isn't the best for searching and finding thread URL's.

Let me see if I have it on my phone.

Yup, I do, here you go. And I took the picture because I was shocked at how much I had put in the tank.

DA FUCK, how is that possible!!! g00gl3it found the jezus 919 tank!

If you lived closer i would offer to be on call in the case you ran completly out of fuel, so i could bring a measured 5.2 gallons in a can and put it in your bike haha.

I once had my tank read 5. something and the tank was not fully empty. the only thing that i could think of was the gas station pump was no calb. correctly or the station was trying to make some extra money off of each car filling up.

Well for sure if I get past 5 gallons again I'll be happy to win the wager, but pissed that I got gypped, so I will for sure report them!

I might have to try this again at another station however.

Definitely. A Sunoco next to my neighborhood got shutdown for almost a month (so it seemed). I didn't know what happened until a neighbor told me...



Good luck!

it almost makes me want to throw an accurate measuring cup for a gallon in the back of my truck so each time i fill up i first fill up the thing to see if its even accurate.

id say max you should be able to physically fit in the 919 tank is somewhere between 4.5-4.75 gal (5.02 - fuel pump - fuel filter) that difference of 4.75 to 5.2 gallons its HUGE.

I am betting on the faulty pump reading. Even after running my bike out of gas a number of times the most I ever got in was 19.1 liters. Thats pushing the bike to the gas station because it is absoletly dry. Not a chance of hitting 5.2 gallons.

19.1 litres? It's an 18.5l tank isn't it? Most I've been brave with was 17.5 litres..... It is a "metric" bike :-D

Uh, actually liters is a universal measurement. Who uses gallons anymore? Oh wait, a U.S. gallon? What the hell is that? You guys just make up your own measuring units? Hehe.

Does that mean bikes with metric gauges are faster? It's a higher number... therefor faster
